Internet Images
You can start by gathering images from the Internet and adding those to your resource library. If you are getting ready to teach a unit on weather, you might search for images of the different types of clouds. You can add these images to your resource library so you can pull them out on a whim! You're just gathering resources and putting them in your resource packs so they'll be handy when you need them. Here's how:
Search for images on the Internet. Copy the image you want and paste it on your blank flipchart page.
Now in your resource browser, click on My Resources. Click on the small icon after My Resources.
.
Choose Create New Folder and give it a name. (from my example name it Weather)
Now highlight that folder by clicking on it.
Drag the internet image from your flipchart over to that folder.
That's it! Now add some more weather images from the Internet and soon you'll have enough resources to begin creating your flipchart.
Resource Packs A resource pack is a kit of images around a given topic. You might search for a money resource pack or a resource pack on time. You'll probably get several different clocks to use in making flipcharts.
Search for a resource pack on a current topic.
Download a resource pack and save it to your desktop (it won't stay there!).
Double click on the resource pack.
It will ask you if you want to import it to your resources or Shared Resources. I usually choose Shared Resources.
That's it - now delete resource pack from the desktop.
Go into your ActivInspire Resources and you should see it.
